What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 September 2023

Pupils enjoy attending this friendly and inclusive school. The established values are evident in the warm and positive relationships. Pupils show high levels of respect for staff and towards each other. As a result, pupils feel happy and safe, and are well looked after. The school has a calm and purposeful ethos. Leaders' high expectations are evident in pupils' exemplary conduct. From their first days in nursery, children thrive in an environment that encourages them to explore and learn. This fosters a love for learning that grows as pupils move through the school. During lessons, pupils are highly motivated and enjoy the activities the teachers provide for them. Trips, such as to Warwick Castle, or visits, such as from a local farm, are carefully chosen to reinforce learning. Pupils delight in these opportunities, which bring the curriculum to life. The school provides a range of clubs, and these are well attended. Pupils are encouraged to be physically active, and enjoy participating in a range of sports, including competing against other local schools. Parents are overwhelming in their support for the school. They value the school's welcoming culture, with one parent stating that all children are 'holistically accepted and inclusively treated'.

What the school should improve

• In some foundation subjects, prior learning is not revisited routinely to check pupils' understanding. As a result, some pupils struggle to recall and build on their prior knowledge. The school should ensure that deliberate opportunities to revisit and use prior learning are consistently in place across the whole curriculum.
